A friends
to lovers rock star romance. This book is a stand-alone novel.

Bandmates
and best friends since they were teens, Jeremy Kagan and Alan Delgado share
everything – including men. But their brotherly bond was shattered during one
incident of mistaken identity in a darkened bedroom when a line was crossed.
With boundaries broken and the line of friendship blurred, they struggle to
move forward.

For Jeremy,
that night was a dream come true. He had been in love with Alan for a decade
but had been too afraid to bear his heart and reveal his true feelings. Now
that the opportunity has presented itself, he’s ready to seize the moment. This
is his one chance to be with the only man he’s ever loved.

Alan, on
the other hand, isn’t dealing with the incident so well. A lot of monumental
achievements have occurred in his life, but none were as life altering as a
single erotic encounter with his best friend. The usual fun-loving camaraderie
he and Jeremy had always shared is now awkward and uncomfortable.

Unable to
shed the memory of their rendezvous, Alan starts to look at Jeremy in a new
light. Transitioning from bromance to romance isn't as easy as expected,
especially since Alan isn’t ready to share their newfound bond with anyone
else. Stress from keeping their relationship a secret turns explosive as these
two battle their passion in private. Now they need to figure out if it’s worth
risking everything, including their friendship, in order to pursue a future
together as a couple.

"Bassist with Benefits is now my favorite Jenna Galicki book. I absolutely loved it. I couldn't get enough”

“Witty and sexy the Bulletproof guys are one of my favorite fictional rock bands.”

“Jenna Galicki sure didn’t disappoint either—there’s heat, angst, tension, excitement and plenty of drama to be found…along with some real feelings and emotion that the characters are not sure what to do with.”

“If you’re a fan of friends to lovers or rockstar romance, this one is definitely a must-read…and if you’re a fan of both, you’re going to get the best of both worlds. “

"Everything I would want out of a M/M novel and more!!! ...it was a really fresh take on a rock star romance."

Excerpt

Jeremy started to laugh. Softly at first, then so hard he doubled over and tears seeped from the corners of his eyes. He needed to hang onto Alan’s arm, as hard as Alan was hanging on to him, so they didn’t fall over. Their laughter slowed, with intermitted bouts of cackling. They glanced at one another and it suddenly turned serious. Their lips straightened, no longer curled into even the tiniest of smiles, and their posture stiffened. Their eyes bore into one another, each reading so much more than friendship. It was there. That little spark they shared was as bright as the blazing sun. Jeremy had longed to see it for so many years. He often imagined it. He swore once or twice that he saw a shadow of a glimmer in those beautiful silver eyes, but not today. The spark they shared right at this moment could have started a forest fire. It was finally real, and it made the hair on Jeremy’s arms stand on end. A flutter rose from his belly and danced around his chest. His breath caught. He was frozen in place. The only thing he could do was stare back at the man he loved and wanted . . . for so God damn long.

4 Stars!

Jeremy has been in love with his best friend and Bulletproof's drummer, Alan Delgado, for over ten years. While they've indulged in more threesomes and moresomes than he can recall, they've never touched each other sexually until one night in the dark sending them both in a tailspin.

Alan has never thought of his best friend and fellow bandmate in a sexual context until that fateful night in which they had the best sex of his life, but after that, he can't stop thinking about Jeremy. They fall into a friendship with benefits, but Alan isn't ready to share the new status quo with the rest of the band.

This was a great friends to lovers romance! While I can't say I loved all of it—I wasn't a fan of the sex with groupies at the start of the book—I enjoyed most of it. It was hot and sweet and angsty and a great addition to the series.

I liked that it was a sort of a slow realization and that even if it took long enough for Alan to finally give into his growing feelings, the progression felt believable. I loved Jeremy and my heart broke for him several times. Alan and Jeremy had great chemistry and the sex scenes between them were really hot. They were really fun and sweet and awesome together.

I loved seeing Brandon and Cameron doing so well in their relationship and it was refreshing that Bulletproof's manager is actually a good person and not the villain here. I'm looking forward to reading Derek's story now!
